Two weeks ago, the White House reached out to Kickstarter and asked to help the millions of refugees seeking safety in the Middle East and Europe! Kickstarter said yes and launched this aid refugees campaign.

This isn’t a typical Kickstarter project. The rewards are all about giving, not getting. Kickstarter is donating 100% of their usual fee to support these aid efforts.

I applaud this. Go Kickstarter for opening up their platform. And go internet.

I just “backed” the campaign. Will you join me?. (Your donation is is 100% tax deductible.)

The cognitive dissonance is truly unbearable here. The White House is the biggest contributor to the refugee crisis. Yet here they are being presented as some kind of cool, hipster force that’s offering innovative solutions to the crisis they created. It is astounding.
